  1. And pulled, if I'm managing. TK did it to Puckett.
  2. I'm not a professional baseball analyst, but it seems like the reason for Odorizzi's success is that his fastball seems a bit slower than it actually is and batters just aren't able to time it.
  3. If and when we no longer have Cruz Garver should DH when he's not catching if at all possible.
  4. I don't wish him well tonight, but Francisco Lindor is my favorite non-Twins baseball player.
  5. I'm not at home tonight. The place where I'm watching the game has all the ambience of a squirrel's nest. And I mean that in a good way. Hope this brings the team good luck. We could use some.
  6. What a way to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
  7. WWCD! I think this could very well have been the road trip that wins us the division.
  8. Buxton in to pinch run. Do we put him in the outfield in the bottom of the inning? If so who comes out? Can Rosario still play 2B like he did in the minors way back when?
  9. OK pitchers, we have our lead. Get these 9 outs and let's go home with a 8-2 road trip.
  10. OK Max, breathing room please.
  11. I don't care which team hit that ball, it is another example of why Fenway Park is a travesty of a baseball stadium.
  12. BTW, this is the epitome of pitch-to-contact. I'm not advocating for or against that philosophy but if you can get 3 outs on 5 pitches every inning you'll win a unanimous Cy Young.
  13. OK, only 5 pitches that inning. I guess that's acceptable.
  14. Jim Kaat referring to "the old-fashioned wind-up". But one of the keys to the revival of his career in the mid-'70's was adopting a no-wind-up delivery.
  15. 10 pitches for Perez, 1-2-3. That's a good sign. We could use about 8 more of those.
  16. Slightly off-topic, but I want to comment on having 2 wild card teams. I think MLB added the second team to give another team a chance to make the postseason. (BTW postseason is the correct term, not playoffs.) But I think the best thing is that having two wild card teams puts a premium on winning a division. With one wild card team that team has essentially the same postseason as the division champions. The single postseason game that involves two wild card teams means that advancing is much more uncertain, and whoever advances has used its number one starter and possibly weakened its bullpen going into a series against a team with its number one starter and fresh bullpen. And the next game is a number three starter for the wild card team against the number two starter for the opposition. That's why it's very important these days to win your division if possible.
  17. 9-4 in the 13 games against Chicago and Detroit. Average of one loss per series. I think that's what most of us were looking for two weeks ago.
  18. I'm going to reference the game in May when the Twins beat Verlander 1-0 on a dinger by Adrianza. At the time I thought it was one of those blind squirrel moments. But looking at season-long stats, it was not unexpected.
